An excellent Leica-lensed camera setup in an attractive, if delicate case. P20 Pro is another impressive handset from Huawei but it comes with some issues that will bother quite a few Android die-hards, namely the lack of 3.5mm audio socket and microSD slot.

Pro Evolution Soccer 2019's demo is promising with with quite a few improvements on display. Passing and shooting are looser with more room for mistakes. Online play feels snappier and previous titles' persistent lag seems to have been solved. The AI seems a little tactically one-dimensional across the demo's 12 teams with few strategic patterns being seen.
